The Philanthropic Foundation has received a £5,500 boost, thanks to the Co-op’s Local Community Fund and their many customers who support it.
The cash will be shared among the many special Teesside causes we support – including some of Teesside’s poorest families.
Every time a Co-op member buys Co-op branded goods 1% is given to their chosen charity. We were supported by the Co-op stores in Linthorpe and at The Oval in Brookfield, as well as the local funeral homes.
Also benefiting were wheelchair basketball club, Tees Valley Titans, one of the many local groups we’ve supported in the past.
Our picture shows Jamie Pennington of our patrons Viral Effect having fun with his Co-op shopping whilst accepting the cash on behalf of the Foundation.
